In the United States, we pray at the altar of competition. From the stock market to the political podium to the soccer field, being the best in comparison to others is thought of as "good."� And many times it is! And why not? There is praise aplenty for the "winner."� But what happens when the "oohs"� and "aahs"� of life are elusive to us? Polly and the Measuring Stick is more than a fluffy little fable about a petunia who is passed by. This allegory holds a substantial truth about comparing ourselves in relationship to others and offers a strategy that all of us, the young and the not so young, will find useful for daily survival in a highly competitive world.
